A Month of Flat Cap Fridays!

Flat Cap Friday supporters from across Yorkshire are donning their flat caps to support the Brain Tumour Awareness Month of March.

As part of Brain Tumour Awareness month, BTRS are asking our supporters to choose any Friday in March to support Yorkshire's very own awareness raising campaign.

We would ask that you hold events at work, in school and at home to help raise awareness of the need for increased brain tumour research funding. Brain Tumour research STILL recieves less than 2% of the governments investment in research, yet brain tumours are the biggest killer of the under 40's in the UK. The vast majority of funding into the causes of and treatments for this disease is funded by charities.

Supporters are encouraged to share their flat cap selfies on Twitter and donate to BTRS's Flat Cap Friday Just Giving page. This alone raised nearly £200 last year and we hope to exceed that amount this year.

Last year the campaign raised just over £2000! Flat Cap Friday was a hugely successful event and the news was shared on ITV's Calendar, featuring Tyler Manley's school, Glusburn County Primary School.

BTRS hoping that 2018's month of Flat Cap Fridays will see this iconic Yorkshire event be even bigger and better.
